Announcing MEC - Celebrating bloggers

Some time back, I wrote a post asking people what made them blog? The reasons, as some blogger friends commented, ranged from sheer love for blogging to the happiness that comments bring. Whatever the reason maybe, the one common thread that ran through all the comments is the dedication of the bloggers and their absolute love for connecting with like minded people through their weblog. We bloggers deserve a pat on the back for managing home, career, kids and still finding time to blog about the food that we put on our family's table and umpteen other things.What does all this have to do with MEC- The microwave easy cooking event conceptualized by Srivalli and hosted by me this month? Well, we are going to celebrate our fellow bloggers this month. There's no better way to do it than by cooking something from their blogs and telling them how much we love it.Here's what you have to do - Choose a vegetarian recipe from another blog. It could be something that the other blogger has made using the stove top or microwave. Adapt it so that it can be cooked completely in the microwave. Cook, click and post.

The rules are pretty simple:1. Cook anything from another blog and write about it on your blog between now and March 31st. Please stick to vegetarian recipes (no eggs).2. Remember, the entire cooking must be done in the microwave, though a blender/food processor can be used for grinding.3. Please link back to this announcement and also to Srivalli's event link.4. I will accept older entries as long as you repost and link back to this announcement and to Valli's rules.5. Multiple entries are welcome.6. Don't let not having a blog stop you from participating. E-mail your recipe to me with a photo and I'll include it in the round-up.7. Send in your entries, with your name, recipe URL and picture of the dish (300x300) to luvgoodfood@gmail.comPlease mention MEC-Celebrating bloggers in the subject line8. Feel free to use the logo

Jayasree, Thanks for stopping by. I would love to send in that, but I didn't do it entirely in microwave. I used stove top to get the seasonings and initial stage done and then only used microwave. Will it still qualify? if yes, I will send in.
